This headline failed to ignite and makes me want to beat it nearly to death with Andrew Jackson's cane.

From the Cracked article about what a badass lunatic Andrew Jackson was:

Best Quote:

"I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun."

That's right. In a life rich with murdering people for little-to-no reason, Jackson's only regret was that he didn't kill quite enough people. People like Calhoun who, it should be noted, was Jackson's vice president.

For instance, FTFA: "Its name implies that the country's richest institution is run with federal oversight. But according to author David Graeber's book Debt, "The Federal Reserve -- despite its name -- is technically not part of the government but a consortium of privately owned banks which otherwise operates without public oversight." The Fed's only government oversight is that the fact that the President appoints its Chairman"

What follows the bold words, is complete fact. If you read this paragraph the tone implies that "this whack-job alleges that The Federal Reserve is technically not a part of the government", and it isn't a part of the government, and everyone is taught this in high-school. It's a private corporation. Not going to bite on the other parts of this, but that is all legitimate.Why is that worded so that you immediately dismiss that factual information, as if it is kook-talk?

GoSurfing:Not to get all herpy derpy here, but damn this article pisses me off.

Same reason Discovery-Times Channel did a 9/11 Conspiracy "investigation" that dealt with issues like missiles on planes, remote controlled planes and thermite instead of talking one word about the many real questions about 9/11. Same reason Alex Jones cashes an Illuminati check every month. Signal to noise ratio and all that.

Regarding the Amero, am I wrong in thinking that all grey and black market trade in Mexico is conducted in US$ anyway? If it were to happen, there are a couple of important lessons to learn from the euro:

1. Have a strong central bank.b. Don't listen to JP Morgan Chase when they say Greece is totes ok to join brah.

Weak article. I think it's more plausible that *if* Kennedy was assassinated by an organized group, rather than Lee Harvey acting on his own, it would be as a result of Kennedy's opposition to Operation Northwoods.

High-level people drafting proposals that involved killing US citizens would tend to want to cover that shiat up. Thank you, Freedom of Information Act.

You know how when you read a post from a fark troll and they start with asking you to agree to a fact before they lead you off the rails? It's like that. Slam the door when they try the old "foot in the door" technique.

KrispyKritter:Three times I voted Jackson, thinking him bullet-proof. He just had that cockiness, I liked him.

Actually the gold WAS in the basement of the WTC. The Tower Takedowns and the murder of thousands on 911 were cover for the biggest heist in history, orchestrated by the Rothschilds, planned by an un-named Muslim/Kenyan community activist out of Chicago, implemented by Dick Cheney, and transported by a fleet of North Korean nuclear submarines through a secret underground water channel via Agartha. The gold is now being stored in a secret Illuminati Bank in the Himalayas, in Nepal. These are true facts.

Snarky Acronym:Most of the gold is in the basement of the Federal Reserve Bank in Manhattan, not Fort Knox.

Hrmph! The Conspiracy is everywhere. It made my post appear with the wrong source post, simply to try to invalidate the facts. Once again:

That is a thing of beauty right there. If only you could have fit the Reptilians and the Masons in somehow.
